Choose the right perspective
Match the person's network to yours, since running a private fleet, buying truckload capacity from many carriers and managing inbound freight from suppliers each call for different experience. If your decision centers on transportation systems or freight audit, favor people whose titles name systems or strategy; for carrier and fleet operations, favor those whose roles centered on operations.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you decide between a private or dedicated fleet and buying capacity from carriers and brokers?
- 02How do you run carrier bids and keep contracted carriers accepting your loads when the market tightens?
- 03What did a transportation management system change for your team, and what would you do differently in the rollout?
